Strawberries & cream
Peaches & syrup
Guns & blood
Laughter & tears
Sweet & salty
Or
Calabash & rain dance
Ancestors & zion
Babylon & oppression
Azania & consciousness
If I write poetry about the destruction of africa
The pain of colonialism
The tragedy of slavery
Does that make me an african poet?

There is something about this particular poem that I enjoy, particularly within the first five lines. The last four prove a good point, also. Well written, keep up the good efforts. :)

Thank you for comments. Glad to know someone is out there reading. The real work comes with now re-writing and expanding on the work put here. It is merely the result of my daily writing session (usually about 10mins). It is hard to maintain but we'll see how far it goes.
Easy
